Jane Eyre (2006) short review

Kendra April 30, 2006

2006 Jane Eyre

Yet another BBC adaptation of the classic novel, with Ruth Wilson as Jane and Toby Stephens as Mr. Rochester. There were many things I liked about this production — it was appropriately spooky, Wilson really inhabited the character of Jane, it’s longer than my current favorite (the Samantha Morton version), and the costuming was very well done (although they mixed the eras — Jane was wearing later period styles than Blanche and co.). However, Stephens got on my nerves a bit, and there was something off in the chemistry between him and Wilson — when she had her big emotional scene (when she thought he was going to marry Blanche), I just kept thinking, “I don’t believe she would act this way in front of her employer!” So the Morton version is still my favorite — but this is very well done, so I recommend it.
